    I think A Clash of Kings is the series highlight but A Feast for Crows was quite dissapointing. I hope A Dance with Dragons pulls it back. The problem with Crows is that all the best storylines and characters were missing (like Tyrion)

    Wasnt Arya in that one? She's my favorite character. I remember liking AFFC, the way it ends with Jaimie and Cersei! I really need to get ADWD though.

    She is actually in both. More in Feast. She only has a couple of chapters in Dance.

    Finished boardwalk empire the weekend, and polished off a guniess book I've had on my night stand forever (quick read - half the book was guniess history, the other half recipes... gotta try a few down the road)...

    Anyway A Storm of Swords was started last night... I'm only 70 pages in and I was contemplating calling in sick to work today... :oops: .... such a geek.... :ugeek:

    :lol: I definitely did call in sick one day while I was reading that book. Hold on to your seat, because your life is about to change!

    We'll see... haven't managed to skip work yet... but I think all plans for the weekend are being put on hold so that I can lie on the couch or sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and this book...

    damn if only 13 hours of my waking time wasn't consumed by work, gym and food.... :lol:
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    If you were thinking about getting the first season on dvd/blu ray amazon has a great deal

    $35 for Blu Ray
    30 for DVD
    Probaly not going to be cheaper than that for a long time.

    Oh no, I hate that!! Hope you get it soon!

    You know, I'm currently about 200 pages into A Feast for Crows...so many people say how much they don't like that book. I gotta be honest, I've loved it so far. Actually kind of a nice break getting into what's going on in Dorne and seeing some new characters. I've been dying to know what the frak happened to Theon too...I'm really enjoying it!

    You don't have a dvr??? There is no question in my house what we'll be watching when GoT is on but, if there were it'd definitely be DVRd. In fact, it'll be DVR'd either way....so watch it right after, no?

    Screw the DVR... that would involve actually paying for HBO... Not gonna happen! Torrenting is the way to go!

    300 pages into A Storm of Swords... great so far... My weekend is going to consist of nothing but this book and Radiohead on Saturday night... pumped... so much better than the last 5 weekends of my life I've spent searching for a new entertainment center for the house... :lol:

    Edit:

    P.S. for anyone with AT&T right now they are having a promotion for 3 months of free HBO... I will be signing up for it on March 20th ;)

    Nope, already spend enough on our damn satellite and NFL ticket, so DVR is out :( No worries though, I'm sure I can watch it at a friend's house!

    Just for anyone that is going to also do this, i looked it up and the offer ends 7\14\12 so you can do it right before the series starts and probably see the whole thing for free!

    I just finished A Clash of Kings last night.... And I decided I'm going to finish watching season 2 of Boardwalk Empire and re-watch season 1 of Game of Thrones before I start A Storm of Swords...

    I'm going to need to take a week of sick leave to catch up... damn it!

    You might want to start Storm of Swords STAT. Best book I've ever read!!!

    Yeah it is definitely one of the best books I've read. My wife just finished it and said the same.
